Crew Jackson – Great first transition day in Year 6

We have had a fabulous first day as a new crew. We have fitted in so much to our day -working collaboratively to break a code to solve a problem, learning about Michael Collins the forgotten astronaut, reading new books and thinking about the skills we each have that can support our crew to be the best it can be.

Thank you for being amazing today; I can’t wait for another great day tomorrow!

Y6 – History Week

Crew Ambler have made a great start to history week today by researching about the forgotten astronaut Michael Collins and the skills he brought to his fellow crew mates.

Class 7 graduation day

Just when I thought I couldn’t be prouder of this bunch of superstars, today happened! It’s hard to believe that just 10 and a half months ago these shy, quiet little people came into my classroom, all wide-eyed and unsure of what to expect and look at them now! Confident, polite and hard-working, ready to face the challenges of year two.

Happy graduation day class 7. I wish you all nothing but the best for your future!

I sure will miss you. 🥺

Class 6 Graduation

Well, what a year it has been. Today Class 6 celebrated their Year 1 Graduation Day! We had a lovely day reflecting on our year and sharing the things we are proud of. Class 6 you have been absolutely awesome and it has been a privilege to be your teacher. Wishing you lots of luck on your new adventure as you enjoy your transition days in Year 2. Have lots of fun, I can’t wait to hear all about it!

Children will bring home their graduation photos later in the week!

Brilliant start to History Week

History week ‘blasted off’ to an amazing start today as we celebrated the 54th anniversary of the launch of the Saturn 5 rocket and the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon. We will be following the mission in real time day by day until the actual touch down on the moon’s surface on the 20th of July.

In year 1, we thought about how Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins felt as they embarked upon their historic journey and related this to our giant leap into year 2 and how that made us feel. We talked about the qualities we have developed this year such as kindness, hard work, friendship and resilience, and how we can carry these with us as we continue our own journey through Green Top.

During our transition days we will be studying another famous astronaut, Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. The other key stages will learn about other astronauts and each will produce a fact file. I can’t wait to see everyone’s efforts!
